<H1 ID="S3">Chapter 3<BR>Programmer Information</H1>
<P>The VT100 terminal normally performs a two-part function. It is an input device to
a computer -- information entered through the keyboard is sent to the computer. It
is simultaneously an output device for the computer -- that is, data coming in from
the computer is displayed on the video screen. <A HREF="figure3-1.html">Figure&nbsp;3-1</A> shows the data flow.</P>
<P>This section of the user's manual discusses data flow between the VT100 and the
host. Included are codes generated by the keyboard; the transmission protocol
followed by the terminal; and the actions and reactions of the terminal to control
functions in both ANSI and VT52 modes of operation.</P>
<H2 ID="S3.1">The Keyboard</H2>
<P>The VT100 uses a keyboard with a key arrangement similar to an ordinary office
typewriter, as shown in <A HREF="figure3-2.html">Figure&nbsp;3-2</A>. In addition to the standard typewriter keys the
VT100 keyboard has additional keys and indicators used to generate control sequences,
cursor control commands, and to show the current terminal status.</P>
<P><STRONG>LED Indicators</STRONG><BR>
The keyboard has seven light emitting diodes (LEDs) of which two are committed
to the complementary ON-LINE/LOCAL function. The power on condition is implicitly
shown by one of the two LEDs being on; that is, if the keyboard is connected
and power is on, one of these LEDs will be on.</P>
<P>A third LED indicates a "keyboard locked" condition. In this condition the keyboard
has been "turned off" automatically by the terminal due to a full buffer or by the
host through the transmission of an XOFF to the terminal.</P>
<P>The four remaining LEDs are programmable and can be assigned any meaning for
specific applications. The code sequences to turn these LEDs on or off are discussed
later in this chapter.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="keys/bk/setup.png" ALT="" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="60"> <STRONG>SET-UP</STRONG><BR>
The <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SET-UP</SPAN> key is at the upper-left corner of the main key array. Operations
performed in SET-UP mode can be stored in nonvolatile memory (NVR) so that
turning the terminal power off does not, by itself, alter the terminal configuration.</P>
<P>The procedures to change the SET-UP features are provided in the operator's
information section of this manual. Those SET-UP features which may be modified
by the host are listed in <A HREF="table3-1.html">Table 3-1</A> and described in detail under the escape sequences.</P>
<P><STRONG>Keyboard Operation</STRONG><BR>
The operator uses the keyboard to transmit codes to the host. Some keys transmit
one or more codes to the host immediately when typed. Other keys such as <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN>
and <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> do not transmit codes when typed, but modify the codes transmitted
by other keys. The code-transmitting keys cause the terminal to make a clicking
sound to verify to the operator that the keystroke has been processed by the
terminal. If two code-transmitting keys are pressed together, two codes will be
transmitted according to the order in which the keys were typed. The terminal will
not wait for the keys to be lifted, but will transmit both codes as soon as possible
after the keys are first typed. If three such keys are pressed simultaneously, the
codes for the first two keys are transmitted immediately; the code for the third will
be transmitted when one of the first two keys is lifted.</P>
<P><STRONG>Alphabetic Keys</STRONG> -- The VT100 will transmit the lowercase code unless either or
both of the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> keys are down, or unless the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> key is down. Pressing
the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> key will lock only the 26 alphabetic keys in the shifted
(uppercase) mode. <A HREF="table3-2.html">Table&nbsp;3-2</A> shows the codes generated by the alphabetic keys.</P>
<P><STRONG>Nonalphabetic Keys</STRONG> -- Each of the nonalphabetic keys can be used to generate
two different codes. One code will be generated if neither <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> key is pressed.
The other code will be generated if either or both of the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> keys are down.
Unlike the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT LOCK</SPAN> key of a typewriter, the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> key does not affect
these keys; it affects only the alphabetic keys. <A HREF="table3-3.html">Table&nbsp;3-3</A> shows the nonalphabetic
keys and the codes they generate.</P>
<P><STRONG>Function Keys</STRONG> -- There are several keys on the keyboard which transmit control
codes. Control codes do not produce displayable characters but are codes for
functions. If these codes are received by the terminal, the VT100 will perform the
associated function as shown in <A HREF="table3-4.html">Table&nbsp;3-4</A>.</P>
<P><STRONG>NO SCROLL</STRONG> -- When the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key is pressed it generates a single XOFF
code, inhibits further scrolling and freezes the screen. When pressed again the
same key generates XON. In practice, if the software recognizes XOFF, the host
will stop transmitting until the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key is pressed again to allow scrolling.
If the XOFF/XON feature is disabled (SET-UP function) the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key
causes no action.</P>
<P><STRONG>BREAK</STRONG> -- Typing the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">BREAK</SPAN> key causes the transmission line to be forced to its
zero state for 0.2333 seconds &plusmn; 10 percent. If either <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> key is down, the time
is increased to 3.5 seconds &plusmn; 10 percent. Data Terminal Ready is also deasserted
during this interval. At the conclusion of the 3.5 second interval Data Terminal
Ready will again be asserted.</P>
<P>The <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="keyname">BREAK</SPAN> keys typed together provide the long-break-disconnect
function. Used with properly configured modems with RS-232-C levels, it will
cause both the local and remote data sets to disconnect. For modems that are
connected via the 20&nbsp;mA current loop, issuing the long space may disconnect the
remote data set only.</P>
<P>The <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="keyname">BREAK</SPAN> keys typed together cause the transmission of the
answerback message.</P>
<P>The <SPAN CLASS="keyname">BREAK</SPAN> key does not function when the VT100 is in LOCAL mode.</P>
<P><STRONG>Auto Repeating</STRONG> -- All keys will auto repeat except: <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SET-UP</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">ESC</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN>,
<SPAN CLASS="keyname">TAB</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">RETURN</SPAN>, and any key pressed with <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN>. Auto repeating works as follows:
when a key is typed, its code(s) is sent once, immediately. If the key is held
down for more than &frac12; second, the code(s) will be sent repeatedly at a rate of
approximately 30&nbsp;Hz (less if low transmit baud rates are used) until the key is
released.</P>
<P><STRONG>CTRL (Control)</STRONG> -- The <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN> key is used in conjunction with other keys on the
keyboard to generate control codes. If the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN> key is held down when any of the
keys in <A HREF="table3-5.html">Table&nbsp;3-5</A> are typed, the code actually transmitted is in the range
000<SUB>8</SUB>-037<SUB>8</SUB>.</P>
<P><STRONG>Cursor Control</STRONG> -- The keyboard also contains four keys labeled with arrows in
each of four directions. These keys transmit control sequences. If the host echoes
these control sequences back to the terminal, the cursor will move one character
up, down, right, or left. <A HREF="table3-6.html">Table&nbsp;3-6</A> shows the control sequences generated by each
key.</P>
<P><STRONG>Auxiliary Keypad</STRONG> -- The keys on the auxiliary keypad normally transmit the codes
for the numerals, decimal point, minus sign, and comma. In addition, the key
labeled <SPAN CLASS="keyname">ENTER</SPAN> transmits the same code as the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">RETURN</SPAN> key. The host cannot tell
if these keys were typed on the auxiliary keypad as opposed to the corresponding
keys on the main keyboard. Therefore, software which requires considerable numeric
data entry need not be rewritten to use the keypad.</P>
<P>However, if software must be able to distinguish between pressing a key on the
auxiliary keypad and pressing the corresponding key on the main keyboard, the
host can give the terminal a command to place it in keypad application mode. In
keypad application mode all keys on the auxiliary keypad are defined to give control
sequences which may be used by the host as user-defined functions.</P>
<P>The codes sent by the auxiliary keypad for the four combinations of the
VT52/ANSI mode and keypad numeric/application mode are shown in Tables&nbsp;<A HREF="table3-7.html">3-7</A>
and <A HREF="table3-8.html">3-8</A>. None of the keys are affected by pressing the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN>, or
<SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN> keys.</P>
<P><STRONG>Special Graphics Characters</STRONG><BR>
If the Special Graphics set is selected, the graphics for ASCII codes 137<SUB>8</SUB> through
176<SUB>8</SUB> will be replaced according to <A HREF="table3-9.html">Table 3-9</A>. (See the SCS control sequence).</P>
<H2 ID="S3.2">Communications Protocols</H2>
<P><STRONG>Full Duplex</STRONG><BR>
The terminal can operate at transmission speeds up to 19,200 baud. However, the
terminal may not be able to keep up with incoming data. The terminal stores
incoming characters in a 64-character buffer and processes them on a first-in/first-out
basis. When the content of the buffer reaches 32 characters, the terminal will
transmit 023<SUB>8</SUB> (XOFF or DC3). On this signal the host should suspend its transmission
to the terminal. Eventually, if the host stops transmitting, the terminal will
deplete the buffer. When 16 characters remain in the buffer the terminal will
transmit 021<SUB>8</SUB> (XON or DC1) to signal the host that it may resume transmission.</P>
<P>If the host fails to respond to an XOFF from the terminal in a timely manner, the
buffer will continue to fill. When the 64-character capacity of the buffer is exceeded,
a condition occurs called "buffer overflow". To determine if the buffer will
overflow use the following formulas:</P>

</TABLE>
<P>If the buffer overflows, the VT100 will begin to discard incoming characters and
the error character will be displayed.</P>
<P>Software which does not support receipt of the XOFF/XON signals from the terminal
can still use the VT100 provided the software never sends the <CODE>ESC</CODE> code to the
terminal, the baud rate is limited to 4800 or less, and the software does not use
smooth scrolling or split screen features.</P>
<P>Alternatively, if XOFF/XON cannot be used, fill characters may be used after characters
or character strings are sent to the VT100. A reference chart of fill characters
required for these functions is included in Appendix C.</P>
<P>Two of the terminal functions, Reset and Self-Test, reinitialize the terminal and
erase the buffer. This means that if characters are received subsequent to the
commands to perform these two functions and the characters are placed in the
buffer, the character would be destroyed without being processed.</P>
<P>To compensate for this, the host may act in one of two ways:</P>
<OL>
<LI>Immediately after sending the terminal the commands to perform either
the Reset or Self-Test functions, the host may act as if it had received
XOFF from the terminal, thus sending no more characters until it receives
XON. The terminal will transmit XON only after it completes the
specified operation and the XOFF/XON feature is enabled.</LI>
<LI>When the first method cannot be implemented, a delay of no less than
10 seconds may be used to allow the terminal time to complete the
invoked function. This method, however, does not guarantee against
the loss of data when an invoked function has detected an error; and
while this delay is currently adequate, future options may require a
change in the time delay.</LI>
</OL>
<P>The XOFF/XON synchronization scheme has an advantage over requiring the host
to insert delays or filler characters in its data stream. Requiring a minimum of
software support, XON/XOFF ensures that every character or command sent to
the VT100 will be processed in correct order. It frees interface programs from all
timing considerations and results in more reliable operation.</P>
<P>In addition to the buffer-filling condition, there are two other means of transmitting
XOFF and XON; the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key, and Control S/Control Q. If the XON/XOFF
feature is enabled, the VT100 will coordinate these three sources of XOFF and
XON so that the desired effect occurs. For example, if the buffer-filling condition
has caused an XOFF to be sent, and then the operator types the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key,
a second XOFF is not sent. Instead of sending an XON when the buffer empties,
the VT100 waits until the operator types the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key again before sending
XON.</P>
<P>Also, entering SET-UP mode causes the VT100 to temporarily stop taking characters
from the buffer. An XOFF will be sent if the buffer becomes nearly full.</P>
<P>Use of Control&nbsp;S and Control&nbsp;Q will also be synchronized with the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN>
key.</P>
<P>If the XON/XOFF feature is disabled, the buffer-filling condition will not send an
XOFF, the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> key is disabled, and Control&nbsp;S and Control&nbsp;Q will be
transmitted as typed.</P>
<P>The VT100 also recognizes received XOFF and XON. Receipt of XOFF will inhibit
the VT100 from transmitting any codes except XOFF and XON. From three to
seven keystrokes on the keyboard will be stored in a keyboard buffer (some keys
transmit two or three codes, e.g., cursor controls). If the keyboard buffer overflows,
keyclicks will stop and the KBD LOCKED LED will come on. Transmission resumes
upon receipt of XON.</P>
<P>If the user transmits an XOFF to the host (by Control&nbsp;S or <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN>), the host
should not echo any further type-in until the user types XON. This places the
burden of not overloading the host's output buffer on the user.</P>
<P>Entering and exiting SET-UP clears the keyboard locked condition.</P>
<H2 ID="S3.3">Terminal Control Commands</H2>
<P>The VT100 has many control commands which cause it to take action other than
displaying a character on the screen. In this way, the host can command the
terminal to move the cursor, change modes, ring the bell, etc. The following paragraphs
discuss the terminal control commands.</P>
<H3 ID="S3.3.1">Control Characters</H3>
<P>Control characters have values of 000<SUB>8</SUB> - 037<SUB>8</SUB>, and 177<SUB>8</SUB>. The control characters
recognized by the VT100 are shown in <A HREF="table3-10.html">Table 3-10</A>. All other control codes cause
no action to be taken.</P>
<P>Control characters (codes 0<SUB>8</SUB> to 37<SUB>8</SUB> inclusive) are specifically excluded from the
control sequence syntax, but may be embedded within a control sequence. Embedded
control characters are executed as soon as they are encountered by the
VT100. The processing of the control sequence then continues with the next character
received. The exceptions are: if the character <STRONG>ESC</STRONG> occurs, the current control
sequence is aborted, and a new one commences beginning with the <STRONG>ESC</STRONG> just
received. If the character CAN (30<SUB>8</SUB>) or the character SUB (32<SUB>8</SUB>) occurs, the current
control sequence is aborted. The ability to embed control characters allows
the synchronization characters XON and XOFF to be interpreted properly without
affecting the control sequence.</P>
<H3 ID="S3.3.2">Control Sequences</H3>
<P>The VT100 is an upward and downward software compatible terminal; that is,
previous DIGITAL video terminals have DIGITAL private standards for control sequences.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has since standardized
escape and control sequences in terminals in documents X3.41-1974 and
X3.64-1977.</P>
<P CLASS="note">NOTE: The ANSI standards allow the manufacturer flexibility in
implementing each function. This manual describes how the VT100 will respond to
the implemented ANSI control function.</P>
<P>The VT100 is compatible with both the previous DIGITAL standard and ANSI
standards. Customers may use existing DIGITAL software designed around the
VT52 or new VT100 software. The VT100 has a "VT52 compatible" mode in
which the VT100 responds to control sequences like a VT52. In this mode, most of
the new VT100 features cannot be used.</P>
<P>Throughout this section of the manual, references will be made to "VT52 mode" or
"ANSI mode". These two terms are used to indicate the VT100's software compatibility.
All new software should be designed around the VT100 "ANSI mode".
Future DIGITAL video terminals will not necessarily be committed to VT52 compatibility.</P>
